4⭐️ Thank you NetGalley and Rake Publishing for an advanced copy of Make Me Want It Too.

Macy has just broken up with her boyfriend of six years and now she is the maid of honor for her best friend and her ex is the best man. Wood has been in love with Macy for years but she has only seen him as a friend until Wood offers to be her fake boyfriend for the wedding festivities. The lines between fake and real start to get blurred.

I enjoyed this book-fake dating, forced proximity, he falls first.

Wood is the ultimate cinnamon roll MMC. He will do whatever needed to make Macey's life easier. Wood is Macey's date to her bff's wedding where her very recent ex is the best man. Not wanting pity she has Wood come with. Fake dating, one bed, it's always been you.

While the story is very cute, I just wish there was something more to the story. Overall very good. I hope Bex's story is next.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

In this story, we follow Macy, who has just broken up with her boyfriend of over six years. Now, she has to face him again at the wedding of her best friend, who is marrying his brother. To make things more bearable, she brings Wood as her fake boyfriend, not realizing he's had feelings for her for years. As the week unfolds, their fake relationship becomes increasingly confusing, making it hard to distinguish between what's real and what's not.

While Macy's insecurities and neediness are understandable given her recent breakup, they became a bit annoying after a while. I didn't like how she relied so much on others for her self-esteem, and I was disappointed not to see more personal growth from her. On the other hand, Wood was an absolute sweetheart. From the beginning, he was completely supportive and thoughtful, always trying to figure out what Macy needed, which I found incredibly heartwarming.

Overall, the book was okay. The plot was enjoyable, though I could see where the story was going—which was fine, but I felt it was missing something. I was really hoping for a bit more depth or surprise in the end.

I enjoyed this story between Macy and Wood, as I previously hadn't read the first book it was easy to get into the story straight away without feeling I had missed out on anything story wise.

I liked the main characters, with Wood being the most charming, caring type of guy who puts his love interests first before anyone else.

Macy's character of having T1D was great at bringing what diabetes sufferers have to endure daily to everyone's attention and a welcomed storyline.

Kind of saw where this book was headed when reading it though.

The spice level in this was intense and when they finally got together it was a weird encounter for me. If you are not into ass play this book is not for you!

Overall I enjoyed it but I still felt something was missing from it.

Make Me Want It Too is the second book of the Make Me series by Rae Kennedy. The moment I got approved for this ARC, I could not wait to start on this book. Wood and Macy's side story during the first book, Make Me Dream of You, was so nicely done that it got me really excited to read their story and boy, did it not disappoint. The love story of Wood and Macy was beautiful and so heartwarming. I always like romance books that makes me root for the couple. Wood is your typical cinnamon roll MMC who's been secretly pining for Macy for six years. He is the most attentive, sweet, sexy and loving boyfriend and he is just so perfect for Macy. Macy's been in a long six-year relationship with somebody who doesn't see her worth and value, and to see her be worshiped by Wood was so satisfying. Wood is your true definition of down bad. She truly deserved it though. I also love that we got glimpses of Noah and Livvy's relationship as well, which is a continuation of the first book. It makes me want to read the third book only because I'm curious about what else is in store for Wood and Macy. I truly enjoyed this book and read it in one sitting and I highly recommend. The only problem with Rae's books is that it seems to be cut short and I feel like there could be more. For example for this book, most of the it was about their time being fake boyfriend and girlfriend and I would've wanted for more pages to show their actual relationship. But other than that, this is such agreat read.

Thank you, NetGalley for the advance copy in exchange for an honest review. I will definitely be on the lookout for the application for an advanced copy for the third book.

i absoulutly loved this story. macey is a diabetic nurse and wood is asecurity consultin.macey getsdumped by sean boyfriend of six years and needs a date her friend weeding. thats were woods come into play. so good. love the charachters. the plot

Very cute & steamy!

Fake dating, cinnamon roll MMC and one bed? Sign me up! I knew I had to pick this up once I heard the plot. It sounded adorable and like it was going to be a steamy read. I am glad to report that I was correct in my assumption.

Macy & Wood were so cute!! I loved how down bad Wood was for Macy. She's his dream girl and once he hears she's single he's a man on a mission to win her heart. Wood is supportive too. He's basically a dream man haha. Macy is a wonderful heroine. I felt she was relatable and I liked the diabetic representation.

There aren't a lot of steamy books but the scenes we did get were hot! I mean the ass play scene was *phew*!!

A cute, steamy & fun read for those who love fake dating and a man who falls hard.

Oh my gosh!

This book was absolutely amazing. I literally read it in hours I could not put it down.


It has fake dating, friends to lovers, diabetes rep, one bed trope and it was all done perfectly!

Woods stole my heart from the beginning and made me fall in love with him! The love and care he had for Macy made me swoon!🥹

4.75/5 ⭐️

4.5 star read...

Thank you to Victory Editing and NetGalley for this ARC.

This was a quick read told in Macy and Wood's alternating POV. While this could be read as a standalone, I felt I appreciated the story more having read the previous book. I would have liked to have seen more of Macy and Spencer's relationship to show how he treated her and why she acted/felt the way she did. As the parent of a type 1 diabetic, I appreciated the representation and thought it was done pretty well. There was only one scene that I felt wasn't all that accurate, but the disease is unpredictable if nothing else and everyone is different so maybe it's not all that far-fetched. Overall I have fallen in love with this group and can't wait to read more.

"To all my shy girlies who also like a little ass play" what a dedication! If I said this didn't grab my attention instantly, I'd be lying!

I thought I loved Noah and Livs story, but Wood and Macy are amazing, What chemistry! From the first page, I was hooked, and I couldn't put it down. The sweet, caring nature of Wood was sexy and the fact he was so smitten by Macy added to the dynamics of their developing relationship.

Now, back to the dedication, wow! What a scene! Let me tell you, when you read it, you will know exactly what I mean!

tropes: Cinnamon roll mmc, fake dating, one bed


Make me want it too is the story of Macy, a diabetic L and D nurse, and Wood and security consultant and playboy because he can’t have the one woman he’s been pining for.


Right after Macy’s best friend gets engaged, Macy’s 6 year relationship with Spencer ends because he has no real plans for moving forward. It’s obvious that he has not treated her well in their relationship which leaves her constantly on edge and second guessing herself. He has effectively destroyed her self esteem.


But now, because her BFF is marrying Spencer’s brother Macy will be forced to interact with him during the pre-wedding events. Enter Wood who has been in love with Macy for years to save the day. Like the ooey gooey cinnamon roll he is, he offers to pretend to be her boyfriend and shield her from any issues that might arise from being so close to Spencer for a week.


This book is hilarious! I want to be a part of this friend group soooooo badly and I love how Wood is so good at the snarky backhanded compliments when he’s standing up for Macy to Spencer and his family.


I did find it interesting that despite presenting himself as a cocky and self assured playboy, Wood seems to think he’s doing everything wrong with Macy- like for all his experience with women he doesn’t understand that women also cry when they’re happy.


This book was such a satisfying and enjoyable read. Thank you to NetGalley and Rake Books for the chance to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

MAKE ME WANT IT TOO - RAE KENNEDY - ARC
Honestly one of the best books I've read in a while, I couldn't put it down, I read it start to finish in about 3 hours! It has everything you need in a romance book, it's funny, heartwarming, beautiful. Literally everything you want and expect from a romance.
It's quite spicy 🌶️🌶️🌶️
I loved it! Would recommend it to romance readers! It is book two in a series but I never felt as though I missed out on anything by not reading book 1 so can deffo be read as a standalone! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Make Me Want It Too is my first book from this author, and I enjoyed this standalone romance story a lot. Macy has been with her boyfriend Spencer for 6 years and their relationship seems to be at a standstill. That standstill becomes even more apparent when her best friend Bex announces her engagement to her boyfriend Jake after being together for months. Macy wants more but her boyfriend Spencer is comfortable just where they are in their relationship, and their discussion leads to their breakup. Macy now needs a date to Bex's wedding because Bex's fiancé Jake, is Spencer's brother. Wood is not only in their circle of friends, but he has secretly been in love with Macy for years. He knows Macy deserves more than what Spencer has been giving her, and he gets his chance to prove she deserves more when he pretends to be her date for the wedding and its activities. Their story was one that was filled with greats friends and family, it was sweet, funny, and steamy. There's also family drama, jealousy, a lot of crying on Macy's part which was a bit much and had a sweet that left me with a smile on my face. This may have been my first book from this author, but it definitely won't be my last. I enjoyed this story and lot and would recommend it to all of my romance loving friends.

Coming out of a 6 year relationship with a narcissist, Macy struggles with feeling wanted and being accepted for who she is. Wood has had a crush on Macy for 6 years, always hanging in the background watching her being put down by her boyfriend.

After Macy and her ex break up, she has to go to a wedding where her ex is the best man and she's the maid of honor. Enter Wood, who agrees to be her fake boyfriend. These two are so cute, yet a little awkward with each other. Both fight feelings they have for each other, anticipating they aren't enough for the other.

I loved how supportive Wood was with Macy. He was patient and constantly learning what she needed. Even overcoming his anxiety with needles to help her while she was in a diabetic crisis. I absolutely loved how much he cared for her. There were some inconsistencies with Wood's character, but he was overall very love-able.

Thanks for the opportunity to read an arc copy of Wood and Macy's story!


**Review posted to Goodreads and will be posted to Amazon on release date*

I liked it. Pretty good. A good amount of spice. FMCs insecurities did get in the way a lot, regardless of the MMCs attentiveness. Still would recommend. Would be a good pallet cleanser.

Thanks so much for the eARC!

Overall I liked this book. Macy was a bit needy but with her past relationship - I can believe that that affected her self esteem a lot. The MMC was such a cutie - with his little and big gestures and his obvious love for Macy - it was adorable. It was definitely spicy too, My only critiques would be the MMC use of the word girl and girlfriend lol - "I got you girl" and "Of course, girlfriend". It just didn't mesh well with the hot, ladies man persona he was supposed to have. Without giving much away - I also was left with so many questions about the wedding and what and why all "that" happened. I never got closure on any of that. Id read more of this authors books though. 3.5 stars

This was okay. I felt Macy's insecurities got the best of her and it became a bit too much. There was no growth, not even a little bit. She solely relied on Wood to boost her self-esteem.

The story was okay but not very memorable.

Thank you NetGalley, Rake Publishing and Rae Kennedy for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The same characters from Make Me Dream of You are in this - it’s not absolutely necessary to read that first although it was a good book and really helps to understand the relationships better so I would recommend it.

Macey and Wood are my favorite! Wood is such a golden retriever but not cheesy. Macey is someone so relatable and normal, feeling like an outsider in her own life.

This is a spicy book with explicit content and lots of swearing. I attempted to read this on a plane and found myself blushing more than normal at the thought of someone next to me reading these spicy scenes!

This was such a fun rom-com. The perfect quick summer read with lightness, humor, and the best amount of spice. A fake relationship that quickly turns real amidst wedding drama....what ore do you need? Highly recommend.

The follow up romance to Make Me Dream of You did not disappoint. When FMC Macey gets dumped by her boyfriend of six years, she turns to her longtime friend Wood for a temporary place to stay. Wood is happy to help as he has been crushing on Macey for years. When Macey's best friend Bex announces her surprise engagement to her ex's brother, Macey doesn't know how she make it through the wedding. Wood offers to be her plus one and spends the week doting on Macey and giving her all the orgasms. A spicy, fake dating romance with an HEA that serves as a good reminder to never settle.
